When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I saw photos of me in Rome back in June, 2011.

What made you decide to lose weight?
I realized it wasn’t acceptable anymore and it was ruining several areas of my life. I was reluctant to go to barbecues and I lost confidence in my work and love life.

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?I increased my walking and kept a calorie counting book. I also joined a gym and started doing classes.

What was most challenging about losing weight?
Getting frustrated at not seeing results soon enough.

How long did it take you to start to see results?
As soon as I started walking I saw results in my thighs, but the rest was slower.

How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
6 months.

How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
Walking, Body Pump class, sit ups, free weights, etc.

How has your life changed now that you’ve lost weight?
I feel much more confident in social situations. I also feel attractive again and I’m able to enjoy things now that I was not able to before I became overweight, such as shopping for new clothes and going to nightclubs, etc.
